Fallout from the COVID vaccination lies?
Well, it all depends on how you look at it.
At least one story calls this outbreak is because of "vaccine hesitancy."
I tend to think it might be a simpler explanation: Never vaxxed because...well... never vaxxed. Do you really expect me to believe that the people who didn't get their kids vaccinated because of their access to VAERS?
Nah...

The current measles outbreak or concern is not exclusive to either Chicago or the US in general.
Just last week I was inquiring whether I should get the shot. I do not recall having measles as a kid although it seemed every other kid in elementary came down with it. I had the chicken pox, mumps and when I was 19, rubella but never red measles. There was no vaccine back then. I was told not worry as yet because given my age it is assumed I have had exposure and subsequent immunity.

The U.S. declared the measles virus eradicated more than 20 years ago, but clusters of outbreaks have popped up. There’s one now in Florida.
State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo wrote a letter to parents of the school experiencing the outbreak that it was up to them if they wanted to send their children back to class, even if they’re not vaccinated against this virus.
